Every sleeping and waking second is being spun on an axle of uncertainty
For at all times we are fleetly growing in complicated knowledge
Fleetly approaching death for the uneducated man and woman... Not to mention the children that follow their lead
The communities are being ran by greed and misery that loves company
And together in herds of ponderous emptiness our nation begins to slip away from the foundation that is solid and effective
Prayer was banned before cigarettes in a public place
No longer consulting the source of ALL wisdom...
The Answer to every question!
We have given Satan a playground filled with idol minds and restless... overworked souls
For we must keep up with the constant upgrades
We have lost me, you, them and us
We are spinning on an axle of uncertainty
Being blinded by glitter and fame... Not that it's bad
I just wish that we could keep the prayers that our ancestors had

This was a very nice poem. I am a deep thinker and this poem really made me think. I have a poem that I am uploading called Show me the Way. Check it out. Good poem. May it bring inspiration to everyone!
Good point. Especially liked the line about prayer being banned before ciggs..
To me, spirituality is a solo and personal thing, so silent prayer has always been just as effective to me.
Plus, when it comes to the group prayer thing.. what about the people who don't believe in it or are uncomfortable? I was one of them. It was hell for me to be around when a group was praying like before a sporting or band event. I felt so uncomfortable and alone. And no one can force themselves to believe or be different. So it goes both ways.
